Memcached is a memory caching system, which has been gaining in popularity in recent years due to its efficiency. It’s used to cache requests and responses between a database and the application that uses it, which can enhance the performance of your Internet site and lessen the created load immensely. Anytime a page on an app-driven Internet site is accessed, the app connects to the database and "asks" what information should be shown, and then pulls it. With Memcached, these steps are skipped, as the platform has already cached all of the content that should be displayed on a specific page. When any content is edited, the Memcached content is updated too, so the site visitors will never see outdated content. The Memcached platform is a perfect option for every Internet site that draws plenty of viewers, as it will make it incredibly fast and will improve the overall user experience.

Memcached in Shared Website Hosting

Memcached comes as an optional upgrade with each and every Linux shared website hosting plan offered by our company and you can start using it as soon as you add it, as the PHP extension that it needs so as to work properly is already installed on our innovative cloud hosting platform. You can order the upgrade via the Hepsia hosting Control Panel, which comes bundled with each and every hosting plan and a new Control Panel section where you can administer Memcached will show up. The upgrade is subdivided into two parts – the instances and the amount of system memory, so as to give you more flexibility. The first one refers to the number of the Internet sites that can use Memcached, while the second one, which is offered in increments of 16 megabytes, defines the maximum size of the content that the system can cache. A heavy-traffic site with a large-sized database may need more memory so as to take an even bigger advantage of the Memcached caching system, so in case you need to upgrade this service, you’ll be able to do it at any time with several clicks of the mouse.

Memcached in Semi-dedicated Servers

You can add the Memcached distributed memory object caching platform to any of the Linux semi-dedicated plans offered by us and make use of its full capacity for any script-driven site hosted by us. The upgrade is offered through the Hepsia hosting Control Panel and you can select two features – the number of instances and the amount of memory. These things specify the number of the sites that can use the Memcached caching platform and how much system memory it will use to cache your info. You can select them independently, since one instance is not linked to a fixed amount of system memory, so you can use plenty of memory for a single frequently visited site, for instance. This feature is offered in increments of 16 megabytes and you can get as much memory as you need. The Memcached platform can be used with any script-driven website irrespective of its type, including those that are based on widely used apps like Joomla, WordPress or Drupal, and a lot of companies like Wikipedia and Zynga are already using it to increase the overall performance of their sites.

Memcached in VPS Servers

Memcached is available by default with all Linux VPS servers that are ordered with our custom-built Hepsia hosting Control Panel. The PHP extension it requires in order to work properly is compiled when the virtual server is set up, so you can begin using the distributed memory caching platform the moment your brand-new Virtual Private Server is completely operational. The system memory that Memcached can employ depends on the particular Virtual Private Server plan, but even with the lower-end ones, you’ll get several hundred megabytes that will be at your disposal for this platform exclusively. This will allow you to optimize the performance of multiple sites hosted on the server simultaneously and to lower the load on the virtual machine even if you have high-demand script-driven online portals with lots of viewers. The Memcached caching platform can be used with any script – Joomla, Drupal or Mambo, or a custom-made script, and you’ll detect the better performance soon after you start using it.

Memcached in Dedicated Servers

You can unleash the full potential of Memcached with each dedicated server that we offer in case you select Hepsia as your hosting Control Panel. A special Control Panel section is dedicated to the memory caching system and you can begin using Memcached for any website hosted on the dedicated server with just several mouse clicks. You can boost the overall performance of any website, irrespective of what script-powered application you rely on or how popular the Internet site is, since the minimum amount of memory that Memcached will be able to use is 3 GB and this amount rises considerably with the higher-end dedicated servers. Shortly after the system is enabled, it will begin caching info every time someone visits your website, so, as soon as enough content has been stored, you will distinguish the decreased load and the improved performance of the Internet site. The Memcached system is being used by a lot of websites, among them famous portals like Reddit, Zynga and Wikipedia, which is a proof of the effectiveness of the Memcached system.
